Community discovery on self hosted Lemmy instances
Don't forget the Billet Labs stuff. Obviously not as bad as the SA, but definitely worse than the shit benchmarks and bad reviews.
... No? I know for a fact mod actions federate to me because I can see them in the mod log and in the interface. I can see which posts and comments were removed and which users were banned.
Edit: If you're implying there's dissonance between me caring about mod actions federating to me, but not caring that my mod actions may or may not federate out, the difference is that I'm not hosting any communities. I have a tiny, inactive, special topic community, and support and announcement communities. If I was hosting a big, active community, obviously I would care a lot more about moderation federation.
No, you have full control over what shows up on your instance and moderation actions are federated. So actions taken by admins and mods of the original instance federate to me, meaning I really don't have to do much work on my side. I think I've only had to take a few actions myself since starting my instance. I don't know if my mod actions are federated back to the original instance, but as it's not hosted by me, I don't care much.

That's literally it.

I agree with your last statement, but I actually really enjoyed the puzzles in Spider-Man 1. The story-based ones were never difficult, and for the optional ones, I just waited until I was in the mood for some puzzles, and then blew through them all in one go.
But if you don't like puzzles at all, I understand turning them off.
Wait, AMD can raytrace on Linux? All the games I play on my 6800xt have the raytracing graphics options disabled.
Edit: I'm an idiot, I forgot the 7xxx series has actual RT cores.
I agree with you. I don't go out of my way to hurt big people and I don't outwardly do so on ourpose. I just have to catch my initial bias and push it aside first, which I'm working on, I know it's a me thing, for sure.
I agree "happy at any size" can be an acceptable attitude, for sure, but I disagree with "healthy at any size". Obesity puts stress on organs and body parts, simply just because of the extra weight, even if everything else is fine.
I've been very lucky in that my wife has been very supportive and understanding, but I'm the same way. My rule is that I'm not allowed to shop hungry, because I'll buy shit I don't need to eat, and then I'll eat it because it's there.
That's fair! I dislike that the US still hasn't adopted metric for most things, myself. I'll edit my comment.
This is a fair question. I guess maybe my statement could've been less broad. If just "being fat" is the primary problem, that's what I take issue with. If the problem is deeper, and being fat is a secondary issue (like a result of depression, hypothyroidism, or some other mental/physical ailment), then that's a different situation. My stance in that case is that the person should be actively trying to treat the primary problem. I know depression almost never just goes away. Sometimes it even sticks around with therapy and medicine, and that sucks hard. But at least they're trying.
Thanks, you've made good progress yourself!
My biggest issue with exercise was monotony, so a family member recommended that I try CrossFit. Started going 5 days a week and never looked back. I'm not culty about it, but I love it. Having a different workout every day keeps things from getting boring.
I was also eating like absolute garbage. Red meat, carbs, and sweets galore. No greens. Lots of bad snack food. The only thing I had going for me was that I'd already cut out all sugar drinks besides alcohol. So I just decided to cut alcohol entirely, as well as introduce healthier carbs (like whole grains) and more greens/fiber. Lots of salads. I still do red meat, but it's more infrequent, and I gravitate more towards poultry and fish.
I didn't count calories in the beginning because I just wanted to focus on the two big changes, exercise and diet modification. Once I had those down, I was losing so fast I never bother counting, and I still don't. I'm currently working on strength, especially in Olympic lifts, so I count my macros (protein, carbs, fat) instead.
My advice to anyone that asks is to find whatever consistent exercise you can do. If that's CrossFit, great! If not, that's fine, too! Just find literally anything you can power through consistently and do it. And consistency is the key. I can't tell you how many times I didn't feel like working out, but I maintain the attitude that "moving is better than not moving", so I still go, and every single time, I end up glad that I went. People are always like "Ah, man, exercise is hard." Nah, dog. Exercise isn't easy, sure, but it's the consistency that's hard.
I'm also a comfort eater. Huge sweet tooth, and almost 0 self-control when the hunger kicks in. My diet fix was making sure I only buy and order what I should eat, because I will clean my plate. I've accepted that, and making sure there's only the appropriate amount of food in front of me has worked wonders. Holidays and special occasions are sometimes tough, with family shoving food in my face, but I just exercise extra hard afterward, lol.
I definitely agree with you about the fat acceptance movement. I have to leave those conversations before I start saying things I regret. Again, I try really hard to manage my bias.
Luckily, I grew out of my exercise-induced asthma, but when I was a teen, I lost count of the amount of people who asked why I didn't just power through without my inhaler. Like, bro, my lungs are on fire and I might die, you want me flirt with death just to see if my lungs can make it?
As long as I'm employed and insured, insulin costs me at most $35 per month. If not, yes, living in pretty much any other developed country would be cheaper, health-wise.
So silly. Genetics can make it harder to lose weight, but not impossible.
I'm related to several people diagnosed with hypothyroidism, but none of them are obese because they know the condition makes weight loss hard and actively work harder because of that. The biggest one is what I'd called "chubby", and that's more likely because her thyroid numbers are in flux at the moment, and she's currently working with her doctors on that.
So, medicine and pharmaceuticals are not bad, even if the companies are bad.
Haha, if I held this stance, I would literally die. Insulin companies suck entire bags of dick, but uh... yeah, I have no choice.
As much as I disagree, I upvoted you just for being brave enough to say that.
Being fat is a choice the vast majority of the time, and I have a huge bias against big people.
I used to be fat (250ish lbs (110ish kg) at 5'8"ish (172ish cm)), and as much as I would like to blame my shit on anything else, the person feeding me, the person sitting at the computer for hours, the person actively avoiding all physical activity was me and no one else. After I got diagnosed with some weight related shit, I turned my entire life upside down, am at a much healthier 150 lbs (68ish kg), and feel so much better, both physically and mentally.
I'm aware of my bias, and I make every active effort to counter it in my actual dealings with bigger people. Especially because there are certain circumstances, however rarely, where it may not actually be their fault. But I'd be lying if I said my initial impression was anything except "God, what a lazy, fat fuck."

You want LCS and Lemmony.
